BBarnaky,
You don't need to convince me the officials have a hard job given the speed of the game. And, as I stated, to a certain extent I like the "star system" that may or may not exist.
I had a professor tell me in my marketing class that for every complaint you hear, there are a hundred you don't hear so take every one seriously. Obviously there can't be 100 owners complaining but I bet if they were all honest, many would agree with at least part of what he has been saying the last year and half. Also, how many fans agree with him? They are the group to which I was referring.
I don't doubt that the calls the refs make are right 94% of the time (in fact I would have guessed a higher percentage). I think if you read Cuban's comments it is the non-calls that have him upset. Does he whine? HELL YES! Could he have a point? You betcha. Is it the most important problem the league needs to address? Nope. Could the games be called better? Don't know. Why not look into it and see if some tweeking will help?
Padgett also has a great point, the Mavericks need to be good enough to overcome the "bad officiating" if they ever want to have one of those trophies with the basketball on top.
